The Evaluation of Sponsored Research in Energy Storage

  • Chapter

  • 87 Accesses

Abstract

Energy storage is economically attractive due to the rising costs of fossil fuels and electricity. The federal role in developing energy storage technologies is to support high-risk R & D in areas where private firms are unwilling or unable to invest. This study is concerned with the evaluation of this R & D, specifically prioritization methodologies and the applicability of existing national techno-economic energy models to evaluate energy storage technology.

This research is funded by the Division of Energy Storage of the Department of Energy.
